Load data from Vital Recorder into R #269

After trying a few aproaches for loading data into R, I looked through the utility programs and found vital_s3.exe. This is exactly what I have been looking for!

It is undocumented, but seems to reliably extract all individual tracks from a .vital file, and save them as a header csv, and a csv.gz for each track.

Is there anything I should be wary about when using vital_s3?

I have written an R package,  to import the CSVs as a list of tracks with physical units.
